Dear Ardis and famity,
So sad to read of Don’s passing. He was always a pleasure to work with over some fourty years at Calgary Power and TransAlta. Our sympathy goes out to you and his loving family.
Sincerely,
Graham and Johanne Smith

For many years I was blessed to work with Don at TransAlta. He was a great friend and teacher over the may years we worked together in purchasing. You always knew what Don wanted because he approached life and expressed himself with a great deal of passion. He loved his work and was 150% committed to the job. I am thankful for knowing Don and he will be missed by all of us.

Dear Ardis,
It was a surprise to see Don’s picture in the obits on Friday. He was a big inspiration and mentor for many of us. When I think of you and Don I can’t help but smile – happy memories of good times spent together. God Bless

Ardis & Family – We were sorry to read of Don’s passing in Saturday’s paper. You and Don were two of the first people we met when we first stopped at Schreoder Creek. It has made us think about all the good times we have had there over the years Thanks to you, Don and your many Schroeder Creek friends.
We’ll have you in our prayers
Art & Mona Vollendorf
